1. Next slide, please: 07:00

"Next slide, please." You know, I really should just buy myself a nice
wireless presenter's mouse. I'll be totally popular at conferences and
stuff. I know I hate having to say, "Next slide, please" - but who has
the time (and foresight) to provide someone with a script? I'm
surprised no one brought one to the IBM summit, but it's a specialty
item, so I guess that makes sense...

If we're heading out tonight, I'm definitely passing by a computer
store and buying myself a mouse. =)

Random Japanese sentence: 最近の猫はネズミを食べない。 A recent cat does not eat the rat.

2. Awesome!: 23:01

The IBM summit is _totally_ awesome! And quite unbloggable, so I'll
just take encrypted notes... Let's just say that once again, I'm
completely, completely spoiled by the universe... (and IBMers are way
cool!) =)

Random Japanese sentence: 「おや、おまえさん！」おばあさんは言いました。「これはいったいどうしたのです？」「わたしはねこが一匹ほしいと言ったのに、これはなんですか」 "My dear!" she cried, "What are you doing? I asked for one little cat. And what do I see? -

It'd be awesome if you could pass this on to anyone who might be
interested — we have a really tight deadline, with only 2.5 weeks
before student submissions are due, but I know we can make this
work as long as we spread the info far and wide enough. :-)
Do you know of anyone at IBM who does women-in-IT work and might
be willing to help publicise this?

Thanks for reading! I'd be very interested to hear any comments or
advice you might have.

Pass the call on, geekettes, and join if you're interested!
